Notes
Wow my brain was so much better today. I was genuinely happy during this run and had a few moments where I thought about something funny and laughed out loud to myself. Don't think I'd ever be a person who talks to himself but I might be a person who laughs to himself lol. Anyway, I ran out to Fairview like I do often, but I hadn't gone all the way out there in a minute, so it was nice. Just enjoyed the run after having a very productive mental health day.
On the topic of that, I should explain that I took a mental health day today (until practice time, I still hosted those) because I had bee feeling overwhelmed. It is from a number of things, but the bottom line was that I needed to make the decision to give myself some time to feel like I was back on my feet again. I cleaned my room, did lots of laundry and washed a mountain of dishes, so tbh really solid day lol. I was relaxing but productive. I also think just the decision to ask to be able to take a mental health day was the majority of the battle, because it tells me I am taking the time which helps me relax.
